Yahoo 360?

• Jerry Yang shuts down Yahoo 360 and the world lets out a collective "meh."
• Translation of Yangs latest conference.
  
• Google finally does something about all of those horrible link farm sites that clog up its results. But they lower most blogs in the process. And another blog on the same.
  
• Some ibanker on "nanny arbitrage," which is where a spouse makes more money than they pay the nanny, and on how enforcing labor laws and eliminating the illegal, off-the-books, underpaid majority of nannies would have a negative impact on the legal NY labor market. From Gawker.
• iTunes removes a video starring a nude Natalie Portman. No one is sure why.
  
• Monetize your thirst with Facefuel. Heh.
• NY Times online meta-data.
• MySpace is still the social networking leader, although others are catching up.
• Porn may save Google $1 billion? I'm not sure how but interesting anyway. Apparently has something to do with the 2257 laws.
  
• Anna Nicole Smith tape. A brief exception to my ban of celebrity gossip.
• Mark Cuban finally gets the boot on the dancing show he is on. Video from Valleywag.
• Sounds like Microsoft and Facebook are finally close to closing a deal.
  
• Facebook is going to be rolling out "SocialAds" soon which I assume they are hoping will finally make them some money from all these eyeballs they have.
  
  

Final Thoughts for Thursday

• More blabbing from Zuckerberg.
• Patent court strikes down at least part of Amazon's claim to have a patent on one-click shopping.
• A non-software way to block porn. So your kids can't see it, I assume.
•
